A Hebrews 11.1-3 is a glimpse into faith defined before we see a list of faith displayed.

Hebrews 11:1-3 (NKJV) 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

1 Faith is not measurable, gaugeible, open to experimental science.

a Believing that God is the creator, sustainer, source of life is a conviction that isn’t apprehensible to our senses.

bb In our day when each of us are on surveillance camera daily, we can see video of nearly every crime. (Running a stop light, armed assault/robbery.) The video gives witness that convicts the law breaker - convinces the jury.

cc We have no footage of the creation, audio recording of God speaking the universe into existence... but faith does not require scientific proof.

c When we see a beautiful sunrise/sunset, blade of grass, tree, river, mountain, rainbow, new born baby... our inward perception/comprehension is that all things are a work of God.
